Tonight’s movie: ALL AMERICAN HIGH REVISITED on Tubi

Jess Riley @jrileywrites.bsky.social · 2mo ago

First #QuestPit! So I made an #editorsguide to SECONDHAND STARDUST: my dark and zany take on a world in which reincarnation is real. #OS #AG #A #S #U #D #SFF 🔎Found family ❔Memory rebuilding 💕Second-chance love 👥Soulmates, but subvert the trope 📚History, but written by those who were there

Original artwork by Violet Daubner of a young man in a gas mask astride a bike on a sand dune next to a cow skull. Utility poles rise against a magenta & violet sunset, with the moon peeking through dark clouds.

Blurb synopsis accompanied by black and white photo of two hands reaching for one another.

Two book covers are featured above the excerpt: Retro by Jessica Goldstein & The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley, along with poster art featuring the Amazon Prime series Fallout.

I absolutely love this character art by Violet Daubner-she totally captured Max and the opening vibes of SECONDHAND STARDUST! 😍#characterart #art #illustrations

young man in a gas mask astride a bike on a sand dune at night. Cow skull and skeleton in the foreground, moon peeking from clouds behind him. Red glow on the horizon.

@finalgirlafterdark.bsky.social inspired me to watch Eyes of Laura Mars tonight on Tubi. 10/10 for the perfect time capsule from 1978. The ads for Jackpot Go, on the other hand, gotta go. (But now I’m hearing an old Alka-Seltzer ad on the movie! Mood back to 10/10.)
